Hey guys, as my library is getting bigger and bigger I've finally decided to start sorting it, and I might use a hint or two, especially when it comes to categories. For now, my layout is following:
Action / Adventure (Dead Space, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, etc.)
Adventure (Broken Sword, Deponia, The Walking Dead, etc.)
Clickers (Clicker Heroes, AdVenture Capitalist, etc.)
Moba (Dota 2, etc.)
Platformer (Bit.Trip., Limbo, Mark of the Ninja, Shank, etc.)
Puzzle (Lucid, World of Goo, etc.)
Racing (Grid, Dirt, etc.)
Rogue-Like (Isaac, Spelunky, etc.)
RPG (Borderlands, Dark Souls, Deus Ex, Fallout, etc.)
RPG Action (Bastion, Transistor, Costume Quest, etc.)
RPG Hack & Slash (Titan Quest, Torchlight, etc.)
RPG MMO (Rift, etc.)
Shoot'em up (Jamestown, Sine Mora, etc.)
Shooter FPS (Bioshock, CoD, etc.)
Shooter 3rd (Spec Ops, Space Marine, etc.)
Strategy Real-time (Age of Empires, Warhammer 40K, etc.)
Strategy Tower-Defense (Dungeon Defenders, Orcs Must Die, Defense Grid, etc.)
Strategy Turn-Base (Invisible, Civ V, XCOM, etc.)
X - Never to bother with

I don't think it's enough, I feel like I'm missing something. I'm not sure where to put games like War of the Roses or Timberman.
What's your system?

This would sound like completely pretentious niggling crap, but I have rating scale 1-10 categories. The only problem is after "1/10" comes "10/10" and only then "2/10" etc, that's really confusing.

You would have to number them in XXX, as in 001/100

Good
Hack and Slash
JRPG
Bad
Strategy
Visual Novel
Games

maybe later ill add some more Basic Categorys like RPG; Shooter and so on.

But the really important ones for me are Good / JRPG / BAD / VN
edit: forgot to say: It be much easier and better to oversee if you could do sub categorys.
Like a Strategy Categry and if you open it then 2 Categorys like Turn Based and Real Time
